Study Notes
Heat Transfer
- Heat transfer occurs from a body at a higher temperature to a body at a lower temperature
- It occurs through conduction, convection, and radiation, as well as condensation and evaporation
Conduction
- Conduction is the transfer of energy without the movement of particles due to a temperature difference within a body
- Heat is transferred, but not atoms or molecules
- Good conductors like metals have free electrons responsible for heat flow
- When one end of a metal bar is heated, atoms at the hot end absorb energy and vibrate more vigorously
- Energy is transferred to neighboring atoms through interatomic bonds, causing them to vibrate
- Conduction is a slow process
Conductors and Insulators
- Metals are good conductors of heat
- Rubber, wood, glass, and most liquids and gases are bad conductors
- Mercury is an exception, being a liquid that is a good conductor
